Hi,

TextMate has a bundle that is called Hyperlink Helper. Its function is
that I can highlight a passage of text and then either via a command
make a link out of it with the content of the clipboard as URL or that
the passage is searched via google, wikipedia or yahoo and an
appropriate link is created. The interesting thing is that the style of
the link depends on the set syntax. Thus when I use the bundle with a
Markdown-file the link becomes a Markdown-link, if I use it in an
HTML-file a link in the format of HTML created.
Does anybody know if there's a plug-in for vim that has a similar
functionality?

Thanks,

Niels

Hm, AFAIK, there isn't, but it is certainly possible. To build this
functionality, you would need to add a global plugin parameterized with
a buffer-local variable defining how to build a link, and then set that
variable, probably in the various filetype-plugins for file types where
links are possible. Something similar in concept to the matchit plugin,
which has a b:match_words variable which is set by the filetype-plugins
for some filetypes.

Best regards,
Tony.

... If I read that correctly that plug-in is actually for enabling links in plain-text to work and not add all like the functionality I was describing. Thanks,

If I read that correctly that plug-in is actually for enabling links in
plain-text to work and not add all like the functionality I was
describing.
